Staring me in the face is 55!

Heading rapidly toward that 59 mark.

Wow! I didn't realize I'd been communicating online for almost two years with such a distinguished group of old b@stards!

Joey from the TV show 'Friends' thought it was a "MOO (not moot) POINT" because "...no one cares what a cow thinks..."

Yeah, this here XP with the dual Intel Processor is a far cry from that old 8088 with the 4 disk drives, the screaming 256kb of RAM and the green phosphorous tube display! Back then, the new kid on the block was the Disk Operating System -- can you say DOS 1.0?

Why do I feel like I'm at an AARP convention?

- if the ball is touched over foul territory or comes to rest on foul territory it is a foul ball.

BTW, this is not a foul tip. A foul tip is a ball that is touched by the bat and goes directly to the backcatchers hand or glove and is caught.

BigUmp got in there just ahead of me! :)

"backcatchers"

Where does the "front catcher" play?

You're all youngsters. I turned 75 in April. I saw my first game at Wrigley Field (Chicago) the year BEFORE there were bleachers or ivy on the outfield wall.

75???? I worked with a partner a few years ago who was 85.

Anyone remember the Timex-Sinclar "Computer"? Plugged into your TV and you used a cassette recorder to save your data. Programmed in BASIC. And yes, I know what DOS is....uno, DOS, tres....
